This print showcases a sectional plan of the French Mitrailleuse, dating back to 1872. The creator of this remarkable diagram remains unknown, but its historical significance cannot be understated. Taken from Captain H. M. Hozier's book "The Franco-Prussian War: its causes, incidents and consequences" this image offers a glimpse into the weaponry used by the French army during the intense conflict that unfolded between 1870 and 1871. The Mitrailleuse depicted in this print was an innovative machine gun employed by France during the war against Prussia. Its unique design allowed for firing rounds simultaneously or in rapid succession, making it a formidable weapon on the battlefield. This intricate engraving reveals not only the inner workings of this deadly firearm but also highlights the cartridges loaded within its barrels. As we delve into history through this photograph, we are transported to a time when warfare relied heavily on technological advancements such as these devastating weapons. The detailed depiction of ammunition mechanisms provides insight into how military strategies were evolving during that era. Preserved by William Mackenzie in London, this print serves as a testament to Sir Henry Montagu Hozier's meticulous documentation of one of history's most significant conflicts. It is through images like these that we can appreciate both the ingenuity and destructive power unleashed upon battlefields throughout nineteenth-century Europe.
